Abstract

A packaging ( 10 ) for receiving a filling material comprises a filling material compartment ( 12 ) for receiving the filling material is provided. The packaging ( 10 ) further comprises an additional compartment ( 14 ) for forming an additional volume separated from the filling material compartment ( 12 ). The additional compartment ( 14 ) is moveable along a fastening direction ( 44 ) from an unfastened state to a state fastened to the filling material compartment ( 12 ). In the fastened state, the additional compartment ( 14 ) is fastened to the filling material compartment ( 12 ) via a first fastening means ( 30 ). Additionally, the additional compartment ( 14 ) is fastened to the filling material compartment ( 12 ) via a second fastening means ( 42 ) spaced to the first fastening means ( 30 ) both in fastening direction ( 44 ) and crosswise to the fastening direction ( 44 ). Thereby, compartments ( 12, 14 ), are separated from each other, and provide a secure connection of the compartments ( 12, 14 ).
